S/of do your students have your phone number?

I teach high school and do not do remind. Two students have my phone number... One girl hangs out in my room during all of her breaks and she somehow got my number last year (don't remember how but I didn't give it to her). I refused to text her for awhile but we do text once in awhile now but it's always school related. 

I am an advisor for a club so the other student that has my number is the leader of the club. We did a fundraiser and needed to contact each other.

I don't feel comfortable giving out my number and thankfully, neither girl has shared it with anyone. They don't abuse it and it's always school related. I also refuse to let anyone follow me on social media. 

I work with home-school students grades K-HS. My cell is my work number and parents might call. Most email, and very few text. The middles school and High school students are very good about emailing and asking questions and advocating for themselves. I see them students in person once per week in a group setting so we can chat. I have the cell of two of my son's high school teachers and am Facebook friends with three others, but we were friends before. I do text back and forth among one of the teachers, but it is usually for me to pick something up, drive some kids, ask my kids something,....

I teach high school and several students and a couple of parents have my number. I gave my number to a few students with medical issues (cancer, seizures, pregnancy, etc.) and to my seminar students. I've had my seminar students since they were sophomores and they are now seniors. I work in a low income school where parents are not always available/willing and after hearing some scary situations, I made them take my number just in case. I've also given them to a few parents that were furious because it made them calm down. Almost no one has used it except the students with medical issues. I also accept Facebook messages about math questions. I sucked at the remind app- forgot to check it. I haven't had any bad experiences with it so far.

My dds 4/5th grade teacher gave all the kids her number. They called/texted her when they had questions or something to share. They would invite her to meet them all at the theater to watch movies. If she didn't have time to get her morning coffee, she would text me and I would go buy her one. She was definitely the exception though.

No, I just use Remind. I would reconsider if we were going on an overnight or long distance field trip. I've never looked into it, but that app that creates a temporary phone number is genius!

I teach fifth grade at a private school and I do not give out my personal number. I also told parents that I would not respond to emails on the weekend. I told them I have a family and when I'm away from school I want to be away from school. I told them if their child has trouble on an assignment to come in the next day and ask. I will not mark off points if they turn it in a little late because they had questions. I have some of my kids' teachers numbers but only because I used to work with them. I don't text them about my kids. I will text them to see if they want to meet for coffee.
